Referred To: House read and passed | |
|
1-1 |
WHEREAS, Barbara Menoche, a retired teacher and certified Professional School |
|
1-2 |
Counselor, has inspired her students to envision their possibilities and helped them to adjust to the |
|
1-3 |
school environment and expectations. She has given them confidence in themselves and their |
|
1-4 |
abilities, which has resulted in higher class achievement and an overall positive school |
|
1-5 |
atmosphere; and |
|
1-6 |
WHEREAS, For her outstanding efforts and dedication to her students and excellence in |
|
1-7 |
education, Ms. Menoche has been honored with the legislative volunteer counselor of the year |
|
1-8 |
Apple Award; and |
|
1-9 |
WHEREAS, After earning her Bachelor’s degree at Worcester State College, Ms. |
|
1-10 |
Menoche began her career in education teaching first graders in the Exeter, New Hampshire, |
|
1-11 |
school district. She was also a home tutor for a number of years and upon earning her Master’s |
|
1-12 |
degree in Counseling from Rhode Island College, she became a school counselor at Blessed Sac. |
|
1-13 |
School in Providence; and |
|
1-14 |
WHEREAS, In 1998, Ms. Menoche became a Title I Counselor. In 2012, due to tight |
|
1-15 |
budgetary restraints, funding for the position was eliminated. In her own imitable and unselfish |
|
1-16 |
fashion, Ms. Menoche retired so that a less senior teacher would not be laid off, but she has |
|
1-17 |
continued to volunteer her counseling services ever since; and |
|
1-18 |
WHEREAS, Ms. Menoche’s genuine love of teaching and innate ability to ameliorate her |
|
1-19 |
students’ concerns has not only helped hundreds of children to succeed, but has also earned her |
|
1-20 |
the praise and admiration of her peers. Her dedication and expertise have been tremendous assets |
|
2-1 |
to the entire school community; now, therefore be it |
|
2-2 |
RESOLVED, That this House of Representatives of the State of Rhode Island and |
|
2-3 |
Providence Plantations hereby congratulates and applauds Barbara Menoche on receiving a 2013 |
|
2-4 |
Golden Apple Award. We furthermore wish her good health, fulfillment, and success in all her |
|
2-5 |
future endeavors; and be it further |
|
2-6 |
RESOLVED, That the Secretary of State be and hereby is authorized and directed to |
|
2-7 |
transmit a duly certified copy of this resolution to Barbara E. Menoche. |
